Reclaim The Records: Using Freedom of Information Laws for Genealogy - free webinar by Brooke Ganz now online

Reclaim The Records: Using Freedom of Information Laws for Genealogy - free webinar by Brooke Ganz now online
The recording of Wednesday's webinar, "Reclaim The Records: Using Freedom of Information Laws for Genealogy” by Brooke Ganz is now available to view at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com for free.
Webinar Description
Tired of being told by archives, libraries, and government agencies that the genealogical records you want are ''unavailable''? We were too, so we figured out how to do something about it.  We're Reclaim The Records, a new not-for-profit activist group of more than 5,300 genealogists, researchers, historians, and journalists. We use Freedom of Information laws – and sometimes even lawsuits – to obtain copies of previously inaccessible archival record sets, which we then put online for free public use.
